Indianapolis Colts agree terms with Josh McDaniels to become head coach

07/02/2018

The Patriots' Super Bowl loss leaves a number of lingering questions, one of them being the status of offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels. Louis Rams as their offensive coordinator in 2011 before returning for a second stint with the Patriots in the same position in 2012.

Whatever the case may be, the Colts will be able to officially introduce their new head coach relatively soon, and it's a big hire for the franchise at that.

The announcement ended a month-long search following the December 31 firing of Pagano, who exited after six seasons and an overall record of 56-46.

The Colts will hope McDaniels can have similar success with Andrew Luck, who was sidelined with a shoulder injury for the entire 2017 season. That occurred January 27 in Foxborough, Mass., and owner Jim Irsay joined Ballard for the follow-up. During the game, the site reported there's "increasing chatter" that McDaniels might not leave the Patriots.

McDaniels declined to address his imminent relocation to Indy following the game. "I'm going to respect the guys that just competed and played their hearts out".

"He's leaving to be a head coach", he said. Quite simply, I've been incredibly fortunate to work with, who I believe, is the greatest coach in National Football League history. It was one thing to debate a trade down when the conversation over who the first pick should be was just Saquon Barkley or Bradley Chubb, but now you have players like Georgia linebacker Roquan Smith, Virginia Tech linebacker Tremaine Edmunds, and MI defensive lineman Maurice Hurst all rising up the boards; each of them, and more besides, would all be Week 1 starters in Indianapolis.

I asked ESPN Patriots reporter Mike Reiss, who has covered McDaniels and the team for many years, for some insight into the next Colts coach. McDaniels went 11-17 in Denver, before he was sacked by the Broncos in 2010 after less than two seasons. This time around, McDaniels comes in presumably prepared to work hand-in-hand with GM Chris Ballard. He was sacked in December 2010 after the underachieving and splintered Broncos posted an 11-17 record on his watch. Now that McDaniels has arrived, some idea of how those assets will be used to reshape this team will start to take shape.
